“I decided to be something original, because all those years, I’d been basically the same thing, an Army man, but I decided to just be a Rubik’s cube,” said Quinn, a third grade student at The Weiss School. “I copied off my Rubik’s cube, and I made it myself.”

He got a lot of compliments for his originality when he was trick-or-treating, too, he said.

Quinn thinks he’s close to solving the Rubik’s cube he’s been working on for a few years and that his costume will help.

He’s got his Halloween costumes for the next few years all lined up: a tissue box with his mom accompanying him as a sick person, a present, a Minecraft mine, a Jack in the Box and a solved Rubik’s cube.

He’s resourceful, too. He said he’ll use the base of this year’s costume for all the rest.
